    I have owned a few vehicles with 4 wheel drum brakes, you had to adjust the front shoes to be equal or it would pull to the left or right when hitting the brakes.

    The oldest vehicle I've ever driven was a 1971 VW Bus, and that had front disc (first year for it)!

    I thought the import 4x4s didn't go by brand? I'm pissed because I got points deducted for having scratches in the bed!

    I agree that you aren't full-size, but I remember you saying your trucks aren't stock enough for the stock section anymore...?

    No. Toyota does not sell Tacomas in Russia.
    Only used imported from US or Canada.

    Maybe you mean Hilux?

    China illegally copies everything, that's how they are. Some of the copies are very close. Except in quality. Generally, they lack that in vehicles.

    North Korea made unauthorized copies of the Mercedes-Benz W201 by purchasing a few of them, tearing them apart, and then reverse-engineering them...

    The result looked like a 190E in basic shape and body design, but that's where the similarities ended; I believe the DPRK knockoff was called the Kaengsaeng 88, and not only was it so poorly put together that it made a Hyundai Excel from the same era (1985-1990) seem liked a real Mercedes by comparison, but it reportedly did not even have heat!
